Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Diamond Bar
RE: City Manager’s Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26 Presented for your consideration and approval, is the City’s Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26.
Compared to the prior year, the Draft FY 2025/26 Operating Budget reflects a more challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for essential City programs and services, and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, the City must adopt a measured approach to long-term planning and financial commitments. Management remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle, recognizing ongoing pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and operating expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic slowdown.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted operating deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one-time reserves for one-time costs, the Proposed FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General Fund surplus of $49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a onetime 37% reduction in Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance that, if left unresolved, will result in continued structural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues are insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo) economic conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits require deliberate policy actions, such as revenue enhancements or expenditure reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.
Without corrective action, the City will likely erode Unassigned General Fund reserves in ten years, necessitating the use of Emergency Contingency Reserve Funds, and further defer capital maintenance obligations to cover the recurring structural deficit. Over time, this will constrain service levels or necessitate sudden, large revenue increases
7 With that said, the proposed budget continues to implement the various objectives and priorities of the City Council guided by the adopted FY 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
The proposed General Fund Budget reflects the following estimated resources and expenditures:
Budgeted Resources (On-going): $32,335,151
Budgeted Expenditures (One-time*): (32,286,151)
Net Surplus (One-time) + $49,000
*One-time expense adjustment made to balance budget (see below).
Despite a budgeted “paper” surplus of $49 thousand, the budget retains a structural imbalance of approximately $702 thousand once one‐time expense adjustments are removed. This imbalance will reoccur for the foreseeable future requiring the use of fund balance in the absence of structural changes to General Fund revenues or expenditures:

8 2024-2027 Strategic Plan
In April 2023, the City Council adopted the 2024-2027
Diamond Bar Strategic Plan which set high-level
aspirational goals and priorities for the community over a three-year period. The Strategic Plan builds upon
past success and is designed to serve as the
foundation for consistent policy and funding decisions, while being flexible enough to adapt to new,
unforeseen challenges and issues.
The 2024-2027 Strategic Plan includes the following
Core Values:
• Community & Livability
• Transparency & Accountability
• Service & Professionalism
To meet these Core Values, the plan establishes Goals and Objectives that set priorities for consistent policy making and guide the day-to-day operations of the City. Performance Measures are also identified which are used as key indicators to gauge progress over time. There are three (3) overarching Goals that include:
1. Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
2. Open, Engaged and Responsive Government
3. Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community
FY 2025/26 Department Work Plans
The FY 2025/26 Budget also includes Department Work Plans that highlight some of the key initiatives and projects that will be supported, with funding sources, over the next year. The Work Plan items are each tied to the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives, and Performance Measures, as a way to measure progress.
9 FY 2025/26 BUDGET SUMMARY
Estimated General Fund Resources - $32,335,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the revenue estimates:
• Property Taxes – Property tax revenue is projected to increase by 4.02% to $7.0 million. Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) is projected to increase 3.78% to $8.1 million.
• Sales Tax – Sales tax revenues are projected to decline by 2.78% to $6.4 million.
Year-over-year decreases are driven mainly by fuel and services stations, business & industry, and online sales.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Transient Occupancy Tax is projected to remain flat, staying at $1.4 million.
• Franchise Fees – Franchise fee revenues are projected to total $1.52 million, a decrease of 2.52%.
• Gas Tax – Transfer In – Gas tax revenue transferred to the General Fund from the Gas Tax Fund are projected to decrease by 2.71% to $1.4 million. These funds are used to reimburse the General Fund for as-needed street maintenance not already included in the annual Capital Improvement Program.
• Current Service Charges – Revenue from all sources of service charges is estimated as follows:
o Building Permit Activity – Decrease of 16.43% to $1.6 million. o Facility Lease/Rentals – Increase of 4.37% to $1.1 million. o Recreation Programs – Decrease of 12.09% to $618 thousand. 10 Estimated General Fund Appropriations - $32,286,151
The following highlighted items have been incorporated into the expenditure estimates:
• Public Safety
Law Enforcement – FY 2025/26 County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) expenditures are expected to be approximately $8.8 million, representing the single largest line item and approximately 27.4% (up from
25.6%) of proposed General Fund expenditures. LASD proposed expenditures reflect a net increase of $398 thousand year-over-year, inclusive of a contract rate increase of 4.37% (down from 3.44% in the prior year) plus an increased Liability Trust Fund (LTF) surcharge of 13.0% (up from 12.5% in the prior year) on each contracted position. The General Fund includes a transfer-in from the Law Enforcement Reserve Fund in the amount of $50,000 for as-needed special assignments and suppression patrols which have proven to be a costeffective approach to reducing crime and responding to specific public safety issues throughout the year. Lastly, the professional services budget for Public Safety also includes the third year of the Flock Agreement ($170,000) for the Automated License Plate Reader system.
Crossing Guard Services – The City provides Crossing Guard Services at seven (7) elementary schools and two (2) middle schools with a total of 16 guards.
The total budget for crossing guard services in FY 2025/26 is $289,800. This first contracted rate adjustment reflects a $9,800 increase as compared to the prior three years which saw a fixed rate.
Animal Control – Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) for animal control and licensing services. The current agreement, last amended in 2021, follows a gross contract model in which the City pays the full cost of services, offset by any licensing revenue collected by IVHS. This year, three large member cities have withdrawn from IVHS (Montclair, Chino, Ontario), prompting a change in the cost adjustment methodology. Rather than applying the standard pro-rata pooled adjustment factor, a flat 15% increase has been proposed for FY 2025/26.
The projected gross cost for IVHS services in FY 2025/26 is $647 thousand, representing an $84 thousand increase over the prior year. After accounting for estimated licensing and service fee revenues of $91 thousand, the proposed net cost to the City is $557 thousand, an increase of $117 thousand compared to the previous fiscal year.
11 • Human Resources – “Human Capital Investment Program” – Each year, the City Council adopts the Compensation and Benefits Plan for the upcoming fiscal year which includes cost of living adjustments, and employee positions with associated salary ranges and benefits. To remain an “Employer of Choice” in the region the City must continue to reinvest in its personnel (i.e. human capital) in a manner similar to its capital projects and infrastructure. To identify and prioritize investment in organizational staffing and organizational structure, and to maintain, enhance and expand City programs, the City has developed a focused effort, led by members of the City Manager’s executive team, referred to as the Human Capital Investment Program (HCIP).
Cost-of-Living Adjustment – The City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations specify that the City Manager may request that the City Council authorize a Cost-ofLiving Adjustment (COLA) for employees based on the March-to-March rates of the federal Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in Los Angeles/Orange Counties. This year’s CPI calculation in March 2025 was 3.1%. In order to avoid real wage losses and remain an “Employer of Choice” in the surrounding Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, it is recommended that the salary schedules for all benefitted classifications of employment including all executive positions, be increased by 3.1% effective with the pay period beginning June 28, 2025. A $100 per month increase to the Benefit Allotment is also recommended for all benefitted classifications of employment including the executive positions and members of the City Council to help keep up with corresponding health premium rate increases. This annual COLA and Benefit Allotment adjustment is a routine maintenance item to preserve the City’s competitive compensation structure. The total estimated cost is approximately $371 thousand, of which $322 thousand is funded by the General Fund. • Parks & Recreation Programs – The proposed Parks & Recreation department budget was developed based on continued community interest in valuable programs, services, and events. Several programs and events offered this year to support an active and healthy community include summer youth day camp, senior dances, field allocations with sports organizations, contract classes, picnic reservations, and Concerts/Movies-in-the-Park. This fiscal year will include the ever-popular Wedding and Event Expo at the DBC to promote the facility, which is mostly a cost neutral event. All special events including:
12 Windmill Lighting, Winter Snow Fest, Veterans Recognition, and the Halloween Party will continue to improve and bring the community together.
Expenses for recreation programs ($2.76 million) and operations at the Diamond Bar Center ($1.76 million) have been adjusted commensurate with the anticipated activities, and with a combined budget of $4.52 million the Parks & Recreation Department’s Proposed FY 2025/26 budget represents a total decrease of $100 thousand from the prior year. The Diamond Bar Center rental revenue is budgeted at $700 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand from the prior year. However, DBC revenues may fluctuate slightly in FY 2025/26 due to ongoing capital improvement projects scheduled for the facility in the late Summer of 2025. Recreation program revenue is expected to be down $85 thousand (12%) from the prior year amount of $703 thousand, with $618 thousand budgeted for FY 2025/26. This decrease is mainly due to decreased participation in contract classes and some youth sports.
Special Revenue Fund Highlights
• Integrated Waste Management Fund (250) – The proposed budget of $899 thousand includes $21 thousand for expanded student waste reduction and recycling field trips. The City has maintained a student environmental education program with Discovery Cube for several years. Last year, the program expanded to include 3rd and 4th graders in addition to its usual 5th and 6th graders. Student participation exceeded the annual goal by February, well before the school year ended. This program has been wellreceived by schools as it provides a fun and interactive way to educate students about recycling, organic waste, and sustainable purchasing choices.
Additionally, it supports the goals of SB 1383, particularly through Discovery Cube’s organics lab, which includes composting and vermicomposting activities.
• Lighting & Landscape Assessment Districts (LLADs) – Much work has been done over the recent years to help address the operating deficits and reduce the General Fund subsidies to the LLADs, particularly Districts 39-2022 and 41-2021.
Total General Fund contributions to all three districts for FY 2025/26 is budgeted at $275 thousand, a decrease of $89 thousand from the prior year. 13 • AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Fund (251) – The proposed budget of $74 thousand represents a decrease of $80 thousand and is recommended to accommodate citizen requests for neighborhood traffic management program (NTMP) improvements ($74 thousand). The year-over-year decrease is due to a $10 thousand reduction in funding for the NTMP and the removal of $70 thousand in funding previously allocated for zero-emissions replacement vehicles.
• Beverage Container Recycling Grant Fund (254) – The proposed $97 thousand budget includes $70 thousand for two (2) bottle refill stations at Diamond Bar Center.
• Park Development Fund (262) – The proposed budget of $35 thousand is for the design and manufacture of park and trail signs across the City. As the majority of park rules, information, and directional signs were purchased in FY 2024/25, there is a need to replace the faded, damaged and outdated trail wayfinding, flora/fauna, and historical signs which have not been replaced in over ten years. Many of these signs are undecipherable and staff recommends recreating signs with QR codes to ensure up-to-date information for park users.
Debt Service Fund Highlights
• Debt Service Fund (401) – In May 2021, the City refunded the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.63 million (or 20.85%) for the General Fund, which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings for the remainder of the term through June 1, 2033 at an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the Council’s conservative and prudent fiscal policies. The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $723 thousand for the upcoming year and is funded by a transfer to the Debt Service Fund from the General Fund.
14 Internal Service Fund Highlights
• Self-Insurance Fund (501) – CA Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) covers the City’s Property, Pollution Liability, Crime, General Liability and Workers’ Compensation needs. The combined premiums for Property, Pollution, Crime and General Liability are anticipated to be approximately $651 thousand which reflects a year-over-year increase of $116 thousand (21.7%) due mainly to an increase in the annual General Liability contribution. Workers’ Compensation costs have increased $4 thousand to $141 thousand and are included in the various personnel line-item budgets for all city funds.
Historically, as the City initially operated as a self-insured entity, it maintained a $1 million fund balance reserve in the Self-Insurance Fund (Resolution No. 89-53) to address potential insurance-related needs.
However, given the critical need for one-time resources to help address the structural deficit in the FY 2025/26 budget, a permanent reduction of this reserve to $250 thousand is recommended. This adjustment is considered appropriate in light of the City’s current participation in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which provides comprehensive insurance coverage and related services. The recommended $250 thousand reserve level will serve as a prudent minimum balance to cover any uninsured or unforeseen losses or deductibles. A resolution amending the City’s Fund Balance and Reserve Funding Policy will be added to the June 3, 2025 FY 2025/26 Budget Adoption report for the City Council’s consideration.
• Vehicle Maintenance & Replacement Fund (502) – The proposed budget of $262 thousand is recommended for necessary operations and maintenance of the citywide fleet, as well as the purchase of one replacement Public Works vehicle.
• Computer Equipment Maint. & Replacement Fund (503) – The proposed budget of $287 thousand is recommended for necessary information systems, hardware upgrades, and replacements, such as:
o (7) Replacement Servers
o New Tablets for New Enterprise Land Management (ELM) System o (3) Laser Printer Replacements
o Phase 2 ELM System Integration with Laserfische and Financial System o New Touch-Screens for Employee Time Keeping.
15 • Building Facility & Replacement Fund (504) – The proposed budget of $89 thousand is recommended for necessary facility maintenance projects not categorized as capital improvement projects, such as:
o City Hall Elevator Control Upgrade;
o City Hall Cubical Modifications and Office Furniture.
Fiduciary Fund
• OPEB Trust Fund (601) – The proposed budget for this fund consists only of revenue via a transfer-in from the General Fund in the amount of $88,000 and investment earnings in the amount of $26,600 designated to fund the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust, an investment vehicle managed by CalPERS for the purpose of reducing the City’s long-term OPEB liabilities (e.g. retiree medical costs). This amount is unchanged from the prior fiscal year. There are no expenses budgeted in this fund.
Capital Improvement Program Highlights
The FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget includes five (5) new projects totaling $5.2 million designated for improvements to the City’s’ streets, traffic infrastructure, and landscapes. The CIP represents an expenditure decrease of 63.0% when compared to the Adopted CIP for FY 2024/25 and does not include any projects funded by the General Fund. The CIP was reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan at the May 13, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting. Major CIP projects include:
• Pavement Rehabilitation Design Project FYs 2026-28
- (Arterials, Residential, Collector Street Rehab, and CDBG Curb Ramps).
• Arterial Street Rehab (Construction)
- Brea Canyon Rd from DBB to Pathfinder
- Brea Canyon Rd from Pathfinder to Golden Springs Dr
- Diamond Bar Blvd from Westbound SR 60 off-ramp to northern City Limits
• CDBG Area 6 ADA Curb Ramp Project (Construction)
• Battery Back-Up and CCTV Replacement Program FY25/26 (Const.) 16 • Phase 1 - LLADs Irrigation and Landscape Improvements. (Design & Const.)
CONCLUSION
The Proposed FY 2025/26 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program reflects a more challenging fiscal environment than in previous years, marked by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget continues to fund a broad range of essential City programs and services and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, as well as human capital, it also presents a measured and cautious approach to the City’s long-term planning and financial commitments.
Staff is currently working on a comprehensive strategy to build sustainable revenues over the long-term and will engage in discussions with the City Council to explore options in the coming months.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Executive Management Team, especially Finance Director Jason M. Jacobsen, for their efforts in preparing this year’s Budget. I would also like to thank all of our talented and dedicated staff for their continued and unwavering flexibility, creativity and support in the delivery of city services.
I would like to recognize the City Council for their effective fiscal leadership and commitment to serving the community. It is through the City Council’s forwardthinking leadership and prudent fiscal practices, that Diamond Bar is able to deliver a commitment to service excellence and strive to achieve our Community Values: Community & Livability, Transparency & Accountability, Service & Professionalism.

1. Prepare the budget in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
2. Utilization as an operations guide for administrative staff in the management and control of fiscal resources.
3. Presentation of the City's financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year, itemizing projected revenues and estimated expenditures.

47 BASIS OF BUDGETING
The City of Diamond Bar's annual operating budget is prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted below:
1. The budgetary basis for governmental funds (e.g. General Fund, CIP Fund, Special Revenue funds, Debt Service Fund) is in conformity with GAAP, with a few minor exceptions. In conformity with GAAP, the modified accrual basis of accounting is used wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period, while expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred. However, in the following cases the budgetary basis differs from GAAP:
a. Adjustments to recognize gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in their market value are not budgeted.
b. Items reported as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” are classified as revenues and expenditures under the budgetary basis of accounting.
2. The budgetary basis for proprietary funds (e.g. Internal Service funds) is in conformity with GAAP, using the accrual basis of accounting for all revenues and expenses, except for the following instances:
a. The receipt of long-term debt proceeds, capital outlays, and debt service principal payments are budgeted, but allocations for depreciation and amortization
expense are not.
Each of the City's funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations.
The General Fund accounts for all the general revenue of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and for expenditures related to rendering the general services provided by the City. The City of Diamond Bar has twenty-nine Special Revenue Funds that are used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditure for particular purposes. The Capital Project Fund is used to account for the purchase or construction of major capital facilities. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for principal and interest payments on outstanding fixed rate bonds. Internal Service Funds are used to account for goods and services provided to other departments within the City such as liability insurance and equipment replacement.

5. Parks & Recreation

49 BUDGET PROCESS
BUDGET STUDY SESSION DETAIL
The City Council devotes one Budget Study Session to the annual Capital Improvement Program for the upcoming fiscal year. At this CIP Study Session, staff presents the recommended draft 5-year Capital Improvement Program to the City Council along with the recommended projects for the upcoming fiscal year.
Members of the City Council are presented with details on each individual project, along with its recommended budget and funding source, and are given the opportunity to propose new projects. A consensus is then reached at the study session as to the final list of projects to include in the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

50 BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCESS
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the faithful execution of the City Budget. In order to ensure authorized expenditures are managed in the most efficient and economical manner possible, the City Council authorizes the City Manager to increase or transfer appropriations within the General Fund, Special Revenue Fund or any other unrestricted Fund. The City’s budget may be amended in the following ways:
- If a fund has an Undesignated Fund Balance during the Fiscal Year, the City Manager may approve requests for budget increases with Council approval.
- Budget adjustments between a department’s line items with a null effect on the overall department budget may be made with the City Manager’s approval.
- During the fiscal year, the City Council may modify approved programs and activities or implement new activities that may require budget amendments. On such occasions when the Council approves a project without amending the budget, that approval will constitute authority for the Finance Director to amend the budget subject to the City Manager’s approval.
- The City Manager may approve budget amendments to carryover appropriations from the prior year, as authorized by the annual budget resolution.
51 FUND STRUCTURE
DESCRIPTIONS

52 FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City’s budget development is shaped by several financial and operational polices. These policies promote and ensure organizational continuity, consistency, transparency, and responsibility from year to year. This section identifies some of the major short and long-term planning documents, financial and operational policies, and fiscal management tools that the City of Diamond Bar employs in order to guarantee fiscal and programmatic integrity and to guide the development of the City’s budget.
Annual Budget and Financial Reporting Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure a balanced annual operating budget and reporting procedures to safeguard public funds and maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. A balanced budget is defined as a budget in which operating revenues should cover operating expenditures, including debt service. The ending fund balance must meet minimum policy levels. For the general fund, this level has been stablished at 25%. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, in this sutation, beginning fund balance can only be used to fund capital improvement plan projects, or other "one-time," non-recurring expenditures.
CAL Card Use Policy
The City of Diamond Bar has joined the CAL Card program which is administered through the State General Services Division and US Bank. This program provides a mechanism for government agencies to provide purchasing cards to their employees to expedite purchases of goods and services. This policy sets forth policies and procedures for CAL Card usage.
Compensation for City Commissioners/Committee Members
The purpose of this policy is to establish compensation for attendance at Commission/Committee Meetings for City Commissioners/Committee Members.
Drawing Warrants and Checks Upon City Funds
California State law requires the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and countersign all warrants and checks issued for payment from City funds. Government Code Section 37203 provides that the City Council may prescribe an alternative method for drawing warrants and checks. Through adoption of this Policy, the City Council established an alternative method to insure the timely drawing of warrants and checks upon City funds.
Travel, Expense and Reimbursement Policy
The City of Diamond Bar recognizes the value of attendance by City officials and employees at professional conferences, seminars, meetings with other government officials, professional organizations, community organizations, and constituents and ceremonial events and activities that promote or benefit the City. This policy establishes travel authorization, expense, reimbursement, and reporting standards consistent with the provisions of this policy and in compliance with California Government Code Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3.

53 Fixed Asset Capitalization and Inventory Control Policy The purpose of this policy is to ensure adequate control and appropriate use of City fixed assets. The procedures are intended to define fixed assets and to establish guidelines for budgeting, purchasing and disposing fixed assets. This policy does not apply to infrastructure assets.
Anti-Fraud Policy
To establish policy and procedures for clarifying acts that are considered to be fraudulent, describing the steps to be taken when fraud or other related dishonest activities are suspected, and providing procedures to follow in accounting for missing funds, restitution and recoveries.
Cash Handling Policy
The purpose of this policy is to safeguard public funds and also to maximize resources available for use by the City in delivering programs and services. These policies recognize the decentralized nature of the receipting and depositing process, while providing for standardized procedures.
Fund Balance and Reserves Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish a key element of the financial stability of the City by setting guidelines for fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is an important measure of economic stability. It is essential that the City maintain adequate levels of unassigned fund balance to mitigate financial risk that can occur for unforeseen revenue fluctuations, unanticipated expenditures, and other unexpected circumstances. The fund balance also provides cash flow liquidity for the City's general operations.
Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the City's utilization of capital financing and debt for capital improvement projects, property acquisition, and projects whose useful life will exceed the term of the financing.
Unclaimed Funds Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish the proper disposition and accounting for unclaimed money in accordance with Government Code Sections 50050 through 50056.
Investment Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporarily idle cash and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.

401 - DEBT SERVICE FUND
FUND DESCRIPTION
This fund was established to account for governmental debt incurred by the City. The Debt Service fund will account for the payment of principal, interest and related administrative costs incurred (e.g. bank fees). The General Fund makes a transfer-in to the Debt Service Fund to provide the resources needed to meet the City’s debt obligations.
The City’s only outstanding debt relates to the 2002 financing needed for the acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. In May 2021, the City refunded $7.83 million of the outstanding Lease Revenue Bonds associated with the original 2002 acquisition and construction of the Diamond Bar Center. This achieved a gross savings of $1.736 million and present value savings of $1.633 million (or 20.85%) which translates to approximately $144,700 in average annual debt service savings to the General Fund for the remainder of the term (June 2033), and an effective interest rate of 1.15%. The 2021 Bonds were rated by S&P as AA+ (top rating for this type of bond) which is a testament to the City Council's prudent fiscal policies.
The total debt service (principal and interest) will be $712,600 for FY 2023-24. The current bonds mature June 1, 2033 and the outstanding amount is approximately $5.8 million as of July 1, 2023. The City’s legal debt limit as of June 30, 2022 is $422,238,938.

APPROPRIATION LIMIT CALCULATION (GANN
LIMIT)
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Limit, was approved by California voters in November 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can receive and spend in one year.
The limit is different for each agency and the limit changes each year. Each year's limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in fiscal year 1978-79 in each agency, modified for changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. For cities which incorporated after 1978-79, such as the City of Diamond Bar, the initial appropriations limit was set by the voters at the time of incorporation. The City of Diamond Bar's base year is 1989-90.
Each year the City Council must adopt, by resolution an appropriations limit for the following year. The factor that the City uses to compute the appropriation limit is based on the growth factor of the County population change over the prior year and the change in the California per capita income. By using this factor the City will have an appropriation limit of $65,424,852 for FY 2025-26.
